Demarai Gray has completed his move from Everton to Saudi Arabian side Al-Ettifaq.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old becomes the latest Premier League player to head to the Saudi Pro League, joining Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum at the side managed by Steven Gerrard.<\/p>\n

Gray\u2019s departure from Goodison Park for an undisclosed fee believed to be \u00a38million comes after his relationship with manager Sean Dyche broke down.<\/p>\n

The winger aired his grievances on Instagram, saying it was \u201cdifficult to play for someone who doesn\u2019t show you respect as a person\u201d.<\/p>\n

Dyche responded by claiming Gray\u00a0had effectively gone on strike, making clear he did not want to train as he believed he had secured a move away.<\/p>\n

Gray made 75 appearances for Everton, scoring 12 goals, after returning to England from Bayer Leverkusen in 2021.<\/p>\n

He said in a statement: \u201cAfter two years with Everton, it\u2019s time to say goodbye. I wish everyone at the club the very best and will be forever proud to have played for this great team.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo the fans, you were always incredible \u2013 thank you for your support. You made it a privilege to wear the shirt.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere has been a lot of speculation about my situation all summer. The truth is, I gave my all to this club on and off the pitch through good and bad.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was ready to play as much football as possible this season but it felt like this was not going to happen. It\u2019s time for my next chapter. I am match fit and excited to get playing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gray will join his new team-mates following international duty with Jamaica.<\/p>\n
